a phase 1 study of single and multiple intravenous doses of sm17 in healthy subjects

Conditions: Asthma

Summary: this trial is a phase 1, first-in-human, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled dose escalation trial following single and multiple doses intravenous administration of sm17. it aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic characteristics, pharmacodynamic effect and immunogenicity of single and multiple doses of sm17 injection in healthy subjects.

of hepatitis b core antibody \[anti-hbc\] and absence of hbsag) are eligible. subjects positive for hcv antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction is negative for hcv ribonucleic acid (rna). 18. uses of any over-the-counter or prescription medications (unless otherwise specified in this protocol) within the 14 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer), prior to receiving the first dose of sm17. acetaminophen (up to 2 g per day) for analgesia, hormone replacement therapy (e.g., estrogen, thyroid), and spermicidal agents will be allowed after first dosing. all herbal or
